    I carry a Gerber paraframe tano pocket folder. Had it for years. While reshaping has taken away the tanto shape and use has peeled away the paint, it works shockingly well. I thought by this point I would of broken it or something. My co workers even played around and stabbed it into a tree, tip still holding strong. No sign of rust and still works and doesn't break under force or time so far. Love it and trust my life on just from my personal experience with it

      Hey don’t laugh! I remember growing up in the 80s at the apartment complex where I lived we had our classic Street gangs (before gangstas came out). Kids used broken bottles, sharpened broom handles and before I got my camouflaged Rambo rip-off knife I carried a home made knife I made from the lid of a tin can and believe you me it could cut.

    Holy Cow! You guys are all awesome! At the end of the video Ben said we would grade your EDC in the comments. The response and overall radness of how many knife guys and gals are out there carrying cool stuff is too much to individually go through and grade. If you commented and love the knife you are carrying you get an 'A.' If you got the knife from Blade HQ you get an extra 10 points you over achiever you:. As always thank you for all the support! Stay sharp. -Zac

    I'm a knife guy and I have at least a dozen PM2s. My preferred carry/fidget toy is a PM2 in S110v. The letter opener on my desk is a Chinese PM2 knockoff. At work I carry a Dragonfly 2 in ZDP-189. When working around the house, I'll carry a Leatherman Charge or a Sidekick. On my desk sitting pretty is a satin finished Strand (Quiet Carry) and a M390 PM2 with custom titanium scales. On my workbench is a Leatherman Surge. Next BHQ purchases (not all at once): Native 5 Salt, Caribbean, Buggout, Griptilian, SR1 and a 4-Max.

    Gareth Bull old school Shamwari in Damasteel and Spyderco UKPK in the newly upgraded bd1n steel(been a constant carry since I got it). Both take very keen edges(bd1n especially) and ground thin(Shamwari is 5-8 thou thick and its a deep hollow grind) so they cut great. And both weigh under 5oz combined.

    I've never liked Spyderco due to their trademark hole. They always look odd to me probably because it's just a straight up circle. They also seem like they would be too wide in my pocket, but I'm sure there may be some that aren't. Needless to say I don't own one
